Chapter 958: Fighting Outside the City
Duan Jun immediately summoned the envoy and asked the envoy to set off for the Cold Moon Kingdom immediately, and promised them all the conditions, so that the Cold Moon Country would immediately send troops to fight against the invasion of the Great Wei Kingdom.
Three days later, the 100,000 troops of the Cold Moon Kingdom marched towards the territory of Dali under the leadership of the envoy.
The envoys to Nanyue also returned, although the country of Nanyue was not large, but also had ambitions to expand, they even agreed to send another 30,000 troops into the city of Dali, together with the combined army to fight against the Great Wei State.
The 50,000 troops of the Persian State have been in place in advance and are stationed in the city of Dali, just waiting for the arrival of the 100,000 troops of the Cold Moon Kingdom, and then open the city gate to attack the army of the Great Wei State in one fell swoop.
In a week of preparation in advance, Murong Xue arranged for a large number of troops to dig traps on some roads outside Dali City. The trap is full of pointed upside-down tree arrows and bamboo arrows, and as long as the enemy soldiers fall into the trap, there is absolutely no chance of survival.
In addition, in many woods, there are tree arrows, bamboo arrows and other mechanisms that are used to sneak attack enemy troops.
A week passed, and Murong Xue sent 20,000 troops to advance first, using large wooden pillars to hit the gate of Dali City.
The 20,000 troops were led by Wu Tong, and it was the strong vanguard that opened the way.
Half an hour later, the mighty army arrived outside the city of Dali, the soldiers guarding the city wall were very nervous, so many troops came, they must have come to attack the city.
Not long ago, they saw with their own eyes that the 20,000 troops of the Cold Moon Kingdom stationed outside the city were completely wiped out by the troops of the Great Wei State, and the generals defending the city saw so many troops at once, and there were some soldiers in the front pulling the huge wooden pillars that were ready to hit the city gate.
The commander of the defending army immediately sent someone to inform the emperor that Duan Yi and Murong Mei were sleeping, and they were still a little sleepy so early in the morning.
Suddenly, the eunuch outside knocked on the door and reported: "Your Majesty, it's not good, there are defenders outside who want to see you, saying that a large number of Great Wei City troops are coming to attack the city." ”
Duan Yi suddenly became nervous, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Now, the army of 100,000 Hanyue Kingdom has not yet come, although there are more than 100,000 Dali troops in their city, but he does not want to use his own troops to deal with the Great Wei State.
Also, there are 50,000 Persian troops and 30,000 South Vietnamese troops in place.
Although there are 80,000 troops in total, it is still impossible to defeat the army of the 100,000 Great Wei State outside the city. They could only wait for the 100,000 army of the Cold Moon Kingdom to come, and their 180,000 army had a chance to wipe out the Great Wei army outside the city in one fell swoop.
After that, they will be able to recover the land that was annexed by the Great Wei State.
"Cousin! What's wrong? Murong Mei was still wiping her eyes in a daze.
"Oh no, the army of the Great Wei Kingdom has come to attack the city."
"What are you anxious about?"
"The 100,000 army of the Cold Moon Kingdom has not yet arrived, we can't defeat the army of the Great Wei Kingdom!"
"Aren't there still 50,000 Persian troops and 30,000 South Vietnamese troops in the city? Let these 80,000 troops go first, and the army of the Cold Moon Country will arrive in less than two days. Besides, our Dali City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, within two days, the army of Dawei City will never be able to break through the city gate, and when the city gate is broken, the 80,000 troops of the two countries in the city will go first, and later, the 100,000 troops of the Cold Moon Country will also come. What are we afraid of? ”
Murong Mei seemed very determined, and didn't take it seriously at all.
"However, this time the army of the Great Wei State is really going to attack, I'm afraid it will be able to break through the city gate in one day, their commander Murong Xue is good at fighting, at a young age, he has never been defeated." This is what Duan Yi is most worried about, Murong Xue is the first female general of the Great Wei Kingdom, undefeated in a hundred battles, he can't panic in his heart.
"How many of them are there? Now there are only 100,000 people at most, and can you still win the 180,000 army of the Triple Alliance? Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of our troops in Dali City, we have a total of 300,000 troops, and if we fight with them, we have to kill them all. ”
As soon as Murong Mei said this, Duan Yi was a little relieved.
Murong Mei said to the eunuch who reported outside, "Pass the order, resist with archers on the city wall, strictly guard the city gate, and not let the enemy attack in." ”
"Subordinates obey!"
The eunuch knew that Murong Mei's will was the emperor's will, so he took the order.
Outside the city, the army began to rush forward to attack the city.
The defenders on the city wall began to shoot arrows at the people below, and the defenders came with thousands of people at once, and the dense arrows shot at the Great Wei army under the city.
The vanguard troops commanded by Wu Tong were injured many people under the dense rain of arrows, but they had already prepared to deal with the long planks of arrows, and the arrows were shot on the long planks when the long planks were put on the chariot.
The chariot was covered with thick wooden pillars that were used to ram the gates.
The chariot carrying wooden pillars slowly approached the city gate.
At a distance of about fifty meters from the city gate, the chariot accelerated towards the city gate.
A few minutes later, the wooden pillars on the chariot crashed against the city gates. There was a loud crash, and the soldiers on the walls panicked.
The second chariot came to ram again, and the noise of the city gate being slammed continued.
This time, Wutong eliminated a total of three tanks and took turns to ram.
After half an hour of ramming, the gates were a little crumbling.
The soldiers on the tower immediately went to report to the general of the defending army, and the city gate might not be able to be defended.
The general reported to the commander, and the commander just wanted to report to the emperor again, when suddenly a large number of troops appeared in the city and came towards the city gate.
These troops were a combination of the Persian army and the South Vietnamese state, totaling 80,000 men.
Just now, Murong Mei called the envoy and asked the envoy to tell the commander of the Persian army and the South Vietnamese army that there are 10,000 enemy troops outside the city who are clamoring to kill the soldiers of your two alliance countries. And began to provoke.
When the commanders of the two countries heard that there were only 10,000 troops, they immediately said that they would lead their troops to exterminate these thieves who did not know the height of the sky.
Therefore, an army of 80,000 poured out of the nest and came to the gate of the city.
After another half an hour, the gate of Dali City was broken, and a large number of vanguard troops rushed to the city gate.
However, from inside the city gates, a large number of enemy troops appeared, resisting.
After inflicting heavy casualties, the combined forces of the two countries wiped out 2,000 vanguard troops in Wutong. Then, a large number of coalition troops appeared in dense numbers, came out of the city gate, and killed the vanguard led by Wu Tong.
After a great battle, Wutong's remaining 17,000 troops were left with less than 2,000 men, and another 15,000 casualties. Although the enemy suffered more than 20,000 casualties, they still had more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. These soldiers and horses rushed out desperately and attacked the army led by Wu Tong.
There was no way, he could only retreat with the army.
The Persian army did not know the height of the sky, and saw that there was no army in front of them, but several wide roads, so all the troops pursued the deserters together, and it was bound to destroy all these remnants.
They didn't know at all that they had already entered the trap area that Murong Xue had set up.
